wk 11, day 3

Wednesday, 9-21-11

goal: 9 mile run + P90X shoulder and arms

Today was difficult. Waking up was difficult, running was difficult. Mentally I was not in the zone.

I got up late (6:40am) and started running. There was no way I was going to get my goal of 9 miles in before Oscar went to work. I got 6.59 miles in (1:03 / 9:30 pace). I decided to run the remainder of my miles after dropping Xia off at school.

I also had to split up my P90X dvd over 2 different time periods. Waking up late messes everything up!!! I got about 20 mins in before having to pause it.

After dropping Xia off, I got outside (9:40am) and started running.  I was suppose to run 2.41 miles to complete my 9 miles, but wasn't feeling it AT ALL. I stopped too early (2.27 miles - 19:59 / 8:48 pace) and walked the rest of the way home (.2 miles). I finished the rest of the P90X dvd after this short run.

I ran total of 8.86 miles. tough training day.


accomplished: 8.86 mile run (9:30 pace on 6.59m and 8.48 pace on 2.27m) + P90X shoulders and arms
